Ytringsfrihed i Canada: 9 måneders fængsel for at fornærme islam

If there is anything that should be prosecuted for hate, it should be the Quran.
You are invited to write letters to Canadian newspapers. You are
welcome to feel inspired by my letter to The Star - but please use your
own words: "Sir, the court's decision to jail Eric Brazau for insulting Islam and Muslims is shocking and a direct attack on the human right of free speech. What the Quran says about non-Muslims, and orders Muslims to do to us, is far more hateful and violent than anything mr. Brazau
said or wrote, which is the reason why Islam is the only religion that
makes its followers increasingly violent, the more they practise their
faith. While spreading the misogynic, intolerant and violent message of Muhammed is legal, warning against it is not. We live in mad times."

"Protester gets 9 months for promoting hatred against Muslims ... Brazau handed out the flyer, which contained many offensive references to Islam and Muslims, in August and September 2012. While distributing it, Brazau
sometimes yelled obscenities about Islam 'in a tone of voice that
suggested he was very angry and had little interest in debate,' Clements
said."
